True Measure Of A Leader Is His Legacy: Gautam Adani's Teachers' Day Message | Read

Urging students to dream big, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said on Thursday that the true measure of a leader is not in the titles he achieves but the legacy he leaves behind. 

Addressing a special Teachers' Day Event, 'Breaking Boundaries', at the Jai Hind College in Mumbai, Mr Adani spoke of his journey from the time he decided to leave his education at the age of 16 to becoming the founder of one of the country's most successful conglomerates, his inspirations, the challenges he has faced, and India's journey to becoming an economic powerhouse. 

"Consider the early titans of the US industry, such as John D Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt or Andrew Carnegie, who built the infrastructure that shaped the future of the United States or our own visionary leaders like JRD Tata, GD Birla and Dhirubhai Ambani, who played invaluable roles in transforming India's economic landscape. These leaders did more than just build businesses, they established legacies... They showed that the true measure of a leader is not in the titles but in the legacies they leave behind," Mr Adani said.
